Vascular endothelial growth factor in brains with periventricular leukomalacia
Y Arai, K Deguchi, S Takashima - Pediatric neurology, 1998 - Elsevier
Vascular development was studied by means of immunohistochemistry, using a vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody in human normal and periventricular
leukomalacia brains. In the cerebral cortex, VEGF was expressed transiently in the
endothelial cells of vessels in the leptomeninges, cortex, deep white matter, subependymal
germinal layer, ependymal cells facing the lateral ventricles, and choroid plexus epithelia. In
the leptomeninges, VEGF was expressed from 20 to 40 weeks gestation. In the cerebral …
